The Magical Play of Illusion : The Autobiography of Trijang Rinpoche
Overview
The Dalai Lama's teacher's autobiography offers glimpses into the young Dalai Lama's spiritual upbringing and his escape from Tibet. As the mentor to the young Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Trijang Rinpoch became one of his most trusted confidants. Rinpoch 's status gave him a front-row seat to many of the momentous historical events that befell Tibet. He observes the workings of Tibetan high society and politics with an unvarnished frankness, including inside details of encounters with Mao Zedong, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Pope Paul VI. Most widely known as a yogi with profound, lifelong religious training, Trijang Rinpoch was also a statesman, a preserver of culture, a poet, writer, and artist. His autobiography is a beautifully written account of Tibetan life in the twentieth century, including intimate details about the upbringing of the Dalai Lama.
